Quality Control

Review Posted 09/02/2022

Great tractor, but it either left the factory or dealer with some issues. The steering wheel had a total crack through the rim. I fixed it with JB Weld. A spindle grease fitting was hanging by a mere thread. The deck had a very deep paint scrape to bare metal. I got a spray bomb to match. The shipping pallet was collapsed requiring removal to get the unit unloaded.

Solid Built & Really Like The Locking Rear End

By Ronald C.

Sanborn, New York

Purchased 03/15/2022 |

Review Posted 05/02/2022

I have only owned it about a month but so far really like it. Locking rear end really helps when needed. I own a little over an acre but cut paths out back on the 8 acres for walking paths. Areas can be steep, and the traction really helps.
Not the best ride suspension wise. The arm rests don't really cut it for me. Need to be higher and little wider. My arms don't rest on them at all as I'm 6' tall. Maybe if I was a little shorter they'd be useful. Would have been useful to have a fuel gauge but my last mower was just like this tank.

Great Product, Great Service

Review Posted 05/01/2022

This is my first riding mower/garden tractor and it's everything I hoped. It's bigger than I expected, but that's a plus for us as I mainly got it to tow a harrow or cart. However, I quickly appreciated how the powerful mowers and wide deck easily mowed large horse paddocks.

So Far So Good!

By Dennis L.

Melba, Idaho

Purchased 03/08/2022 |

Review Posted 04/04/2022

So far this mower is great! It has plenty of power and the 54 inch deck makes short work of most lawns. The high back seat with armrests is a nice upgrade. I haven't used the locking rear differential yet but it is nice have if I need it. My last mower lasted 12 years, I hope this one does as well.

Not Worth The Money

By Beverly G.

Thomasville, North Carolina

Purchased 08/08/2021 |

Review Posted 03/10/2022

I spent too much money for this mower. It doesn't have any bigger and better features than the standard size with the same engine. I mow about 2+ acres and I'm not a fan. Don't let any leaves build up because it will not mow over them, I had a mess this past fall and into this spring. I recommend going with something that isn't air cooled and has more power accessories. I love Husqvarna just not this mower 354XD 54".

Don't get me started on the delivery and that nightmare. Box and crate was busted up and driver didn't know how to get it off lift gate and it was an act of Congress to get it off of the pallet. And then the damaged parts and parts where the paint was flaking off right out of the box.

Husqvarna TS 354XD (54") is a 'Bad Boy'!!

By Tommy R.

Pinetta, Florida

Purchased 02/08/2022 |

Review Posted 03/02/2022

After a lot of research we decided on this lawn mower. The 54" cut is wonderful and even with the stock blades the bagging system works very good. It removes all debris and cuts very smooth. Take your time during setup on the leveling the deck and you won't be disappointed! Mower was shipped the same day it was ordered. Could not find this mower to be available anywhere at local dealers but Mowers Direct had three on hand. The freight line that handled the shipping was a bit of a different story but that is not Mowers Direct fault. Overall very satisfied to this point but the season is early. Hopefully, everything will go well during the mowing season.

Best Mower/Tractor Ever Bought!

By Brandon S.

Fayetteville, North Carolina

Purchased 12/30/2021 |

Review Posted 01/21/2022

This was such a smart decision for our company. We have manufactured home community and we have some vacants lots that we take care of and this tractor/mower is very powerful and easy to use. We have a cyclone bagger system that we haul behind it and its has no probelm hauling it and picking up all the leaves and grass clippings. Using this machine with the bagger system is really great because this mower already mulches before it goes to the machine which makes packing the trailer with debri very full and good.

I ready all the reviews and most people said the hardest thing was getting it out of the crate well they must have changed what they did before because it was very easy and just rolled off the crate with no problems.

The only negative thing we had to do was drill some holes for our bagger system to fit on the out take area where the mower throws the cliupping. They did not leave alot of root for attachements however with a little thinking and drilled a couple of holes we made it work with our current system.

This is by far the best machines we have had and jobs that use to take hours now just takes minutes. You wont be disappointed with this mower / tractor.
